About the 0J0 Code Range
These procedures change the structure of tissue beneath the skin or connective tissue layers called fascia. Their purpose is to improve appearance without changing function.
The fourth character identifies the area: face, neck, chest, back, abdomen, buttock, arm or leg. It distinguishes right from left for the neck, arms and legs. The fifth character separates open access, which exposes the site through an incision, from percutaneous access through a puncture or small incision. The sixth character is No Device, and the seventh is No Qualifier.
